A few years ago, after the birth of my second child, I decided to go on birth control, because I did not want to have any more children at that point in my life. After some consideration, I made the choice to go with Mirena, because it seemed like it would be low maintenance, and it would preclude the possibility of forgetting to take my birth control medication. However, it caused a very serious medical problem in my life and now I am considering starting a Mirena lawsuit in order to receive compensation for the pain and suffering that I have suffered, as a result of this device failing to perform as it is intended.

It is not clear how it happened, but somehow, the Mirena device actually managed to migrate out of the Uterus and to enter the abdominal cavity. Once it was there, it punctured my appendix, which caused some pretty severe symptoms, and I had to be rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, they had to perform an emergency surgery, to remove my appendix, ,and that is when they discovered that the device was the culprit behind my appendix problems.

It was a shock to me, when I discovered what had happened, and I guess that the surgeons were rather baffled by it as well. I am not sure how something that is made out of plastic could migrate out of the uterus, and then puncture an internal organ. But it is clear that this device is not as safe as I thought it would be, when I first decided that I would use it. As such, I think that it is only right that I be compensated, because medical bills are not cheap, and I should not be the one who has to pay for them.
